Coyote brush is an evergreen shrub native to Oregon.  It is drought tolerant, deer tolerant, and easy to grow. Fast growing, it can grow as high as nine feet but usually is shorter.  It responds well to pruning and can be kept at a height of 6 feet or so.  This shrub has cream colored blooms in late fall and so is a great pollinator attractor for butterflies and beneficial insects at the end of the season .  It prefers sun and good drainage but seems to tolerate heavy clay soil.
